In Richard Bean's English version of Goldoni's classic Italian
comedy, sex, food and money are high on the agenda. James Corden returns to the
National for the first time since The
History Boys to star in this world premiere of One Man, Two Guvnors. Fired from his skiffle band,
Francis Henshall becomes minder to Roscoe Crabbe, a small time East End hood,
now in Brighton to collect £6,000 from his fiancee's dad. But Roscoe is really
his sister Rachel posing as her own dead brother, who's been killed by her
boyfriend Stanley Stubbers. Holed up at The Cricketers' Arms, the permanently
ravenous Francis spots the chance of an extra meal ticket and takes a second
job with one Stanley Stubbers, who is hiding from the police and waiting to be
re-united with Rachel. To prevent discovery, Francis must keep his two guvnors
apart. This amazing comedy is sure to be popular and with the addition of a
name like James Corden, One Man, Two Guvnors ticketsare sure to sell fast.

James
Corden has already helped sell a huge amount of London theatre
tickets, as he performed on the stage in the first
cast of Alan Bennett’s The History Boys
(as Timms) from 2004 until 2006. This
included an international tour, performing in Hong Kong, New Zealand and
Australia, as well as a 2006 film adaptation of the production, in which Corden
starred. On the silver screen, as well as the adaptation of The History Boys, he has starred in a
number of films including the 2010 film adaptation of Gulliver’s Travels in which he played Jinks. He has had most of his success, however, on television,
where he is possibly most well-known for his role both in front of and behind
the camera in Gavin & Stacey that
ran from 2007 to 2010; Corden was the co-creator as well as playing Smithy. For his performance in the show,
Corden won a 2007 British Comedy Award for Best
Male Comedy Performer as well as a 2008 television BAFTA for Best Comedy Performance.

James
was also a permanent cast member for Fat
Friends, running from 2000 to 2005, where he played Jamie Rymer. He also co-created and starred in Horne & Corden in 2009 alongside his Gavin & Stacey co-star
Matthew Horne as well as hosting the 2010 celebrity comedy/sports quiz show A League of Their Own. With acting
credits such as this, it is easy to see that One Man, Two Guvnors tickets will be as popular as Corden himself.
